Thug jailed for 32 months as justice catches up with extra rioters

This is the moment a brazen rioter got his just deserts after he drove more than 50 miles to hurl racist abuse at police during a riot, before boasting about his injuries.

Stuart Bolton, 38, travelled from his home in Barrow-upon-Humber to Rotherham on August 4 with his partner and 15-year-old son after watching live coverage of the violence outside Holiday Inn.

The thug launched into a vile verbal attack on officers while there shouting ‘come here you P***, finish it, finish it’, and ‘one on one, I’ll kill you. I’ll kill you. F**k that, f**k that, f**k that’. 

Bodycam footage from his arrest shows how Bolton launched into an aggressive tirade, shouting ‘you know your officers assaulted me’, as he walked along a pavement with a shopping bag.

Police then proceed to arrest Bolton who shouts: ‘What have I been done for? ‘What have I been done for’, as one officer tells him to ‘calm down’. 

One female officer is forced to raise her voice while reading his rights, shouting ‘listen’ as Bolton repeats ‘look at the back of my head’, referencing the alleged injury he received after the riot. 

It comes as more than 1,100 people have now been arrested over the far-right violence, with almost 650 charged, the NPCC confirmed today.   

Police in Merseyside have issued pictures of another eight riot suspects wanted in connection with the violent disorder in Southport and Liverpool.  

Anyone with information about the identities of the men pictures have been asked to contact police directly. 

Detective Chief Inspector Tony Roberts said: ‘These eight males need to make themselves known as soon as possible, as we think they could assist our ongoing investigations into the incidents of disorder in Southport and Liverpool. 

‘Each and every person who took part can expect to face the consequences of their actions. ‘We are still working through footage and images as they come in and we’ll continue to arrest, charge and put before the courts anyone identified.

‘To date, we have arrested 74 people, and charged 41. There will be more to come in the following days and weeks.

‘Please contact us with names and the corresponding number on the image and we will do the rest.’

In footage shown in court, Smith can be seen throwing bricks and a bottle towards police officers and vehicles during the disorder outside the Holiday Inn hotel in Manchester on July 31.

In his sentencing remarks, Judge John Potter said: ‘On July 29, an appalling and tragic attack took place in Southport. Three children lost their lives and numerous other children and adults were seriously injured in a knife attack.

‘Shortly after that attack, lies were deliberately spread via leaflets, the internet and social media as to who may have been responsible.

‘This material emphasised the supposed nationality, ethnicity and religion of the alleged attacker.

‘Inspired by the ignorance of racism, mobs gathered in towns and cities throughout the country intent on retribution.’

A man who carried out a ‘spinning kick’ against a shop window during disorder in Manchester has been jailed for 20 months.

During a police interview, Chapman admitted kicking a shop front, saying: ‘I’d done a silly spinning kick to it.’

Judge John Potter told Chapman that he had taken part in an ‘incident of lawlessness’ and ‘violently kicked a glass door’.
